Three Sites for When You Don't Feel Like Being Thankful

Let's face it: It's totally uncool to complain this time of year. What, with everyone telling you to be thankful and to count your blessings. As a cancer survivor, I already do that every morning I wake up. Also, whenever I do my hair.

But I admit that the holidays can make me cranky. So, sometimes, I need a nice safe place to let it out without appearing ungrateful or self-centered or just plain whiny. Luckily, the Internet affords plenty of opportunities to lodge an anonymous complaint or two. Here are three places to go when you just need to get it off your chest:

Kvetch.com (http://kvetch.com/) Here's a place to tweet your anonymous, yet funny, complaints. You know, to kvetch. Just sign up for Twitter first, where you can microblog your thoughts in 140 characters or less. But don't kvetch here: Everyone will know it's you. Rather, click to follow Kvetch (http://twitter.com/kvetch) and then send them a private message ( http://twitter.com/direct_messages/create/14589159). Your kvetch will show up over at Kvetch.com, where people either give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. It's that easy, and that anonymous. So Kvetch away!

True Mom Confessions ( http://www.truemomconfessions.com/) This classic spot for moms to let loose is filled with all sorts of complaints that you may relate to, such as, "The only good thing about the holidays with relatives is that it's less groceries for me to buy that week." Each confession has a Me Too button where you can click if you feel the same way. Also, you can comment on a confession - anonymously, of course. Or share your favorites by e-mailing the page to a friend. I mean, who can't relate to: "I cut 6+ inches off my hair today. He hasn't noticed."

Her Bad Mother's Basement ( http://herbadmother.blogspot.com/) The sister site to Her Bad Mother, where "bad is the new good," the Basement is where moms send in their essays for posting - mostly anonymously. These aren't light and funny stories, but rather eye-opening and sometimes heart-wrenching essays about deep-dark secrets that sometimes make "Desperate Housewives" look as tame as Dora, The Explorer. Send in your essay or just read the posts on the site. They are, as the site claims, like a "beanbag chair for your soul."
